Work started on this... but progress is exceptionally slow due to the complexity of finding *where* and *how* we are using each item, plus the challenge of determining the correct project URL and specific license that applies to the copy we are using.
I've created the following files: NOTICE, LICENSE, NOTICE_BIN, LICENSE_BIN The "_BIN" indicates that this particular file is intended for use in a binary distribution of the software, where source distributions only need to include the basic NOTICE and LICENSE files. Wiki page updated with a status column, and I've started to add licenses and notices to the appropriate files. I'm also indicating rows as "system dependencies" when we've already set up the project to use them that way (ex: paramiko is now out of our source tree, and is pulled in via the spec/deb files). -chip On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 4:45 PM, Chip Childers <chip.child...@sungard.com> wrote: > On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 4:42 PM, Ewan Mellor <ewan.mel...@eu.citrix.com> wrote: >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: Chip Childers [mailto:chip.child...@sungard.com] >>> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2012 12:06 PM >>> To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org >>> Subject: Added NOTICE, LICENSE and DISCLAIMER files to the root >>> directory >>> >>> I've taken the step to add NOTICE, LICENSE and DISCLAIMER files to the >>> root directory.
